no one knows for sure what can happen with chuck and rashad. if rashad can somehow take chuck down (who has the best takedown defense worldwide) who knows what can happen. chuck of course equals knockout. u can’t know 100% the outcome.

Thiago will become a bigger name. he just needs some time. the 205 pound class is stacked anyways.

also alexander getting caught by irvin was ridiculous and that might make houston seem like less of an opponent than we though he was.

Thiago is one of the more underrated fighters in the UFC, and I’m sure he’ll be in title contention very soon.

Would have loved to see how he did against Rashad Evans but what can you do. Mendes seems to be a decent replacement since most of the top LHW are tied up right now with other fights. UFC 84 should be a sick card overall.

Also Thales Leites is set to fight Nathan Marquardt at UFC 85 according to a graciemag.com interview with him. Should be another solid fight on that slowly building card.
